“We have such an exciting line-up of films coming up, like Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Baywatch, and look forward to welcoming the community to share our passion for film.”

Cineworld hope customers will be ‘blown away’ when they visit this highly anticipated entertainment venue for the first time, the centrepiece of the new £15.7 million Ely Leisure Village on Downham Road.

Cineworld divisional director Kelly Drew said: “We are on schedule and getting ready for that opening day that we’ve promised the families of Ely.

“Our customers of Ely are going to be absolutely delighted when they walk in to our foyer and see our shiny tiles, our high digital poster case showcasing all our latest film information. You won’t see a tile anywhere else in Ely like you are going to see in Cineworld.”

The cinema will sit along side alongside a McDonalds, Costa Coffee, Frankie & Benny’s, Hungry Horse and KFC in the half acre leisure park.

Burger takeaway and delivery outlet Chosen Bun - which started life on London’s Fulham Road - and local family owned diner Arbuckles, will also join the group when the destination opens at the end of this month.

The cinema and eatery destination will be equipped with 380 car parking spaces and address the lack of leisure provision north of Cambridge.

It is also being championed by developers as meeting the growing needs of the Ely area, which is set to see 5,500 new homes over the next few years.
